The Stringer is a 2025 documentary directed by Bao Nguyen. Based on the Vietnam War photograph The Terror of War, more commonly referred to as Napalm Girl, depicting Phan Thi Kim Phuc running from a napalm attack, the film queries whether it was credited to the right photographer. It presents a two-year investigation on the matter, arguing that a photo stringer named Nguyen Thanh Nghe actually took it rather than the officially credited photographer Nick Ut.
